What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.
How do fossil fuels burn?
Fossil fuels include oil, gas, coal, and all other products that are derived from fossil fuels and used as an energy source. Fossil fuels release energy when they are burned. Take your car for example. You put gas in your car, and your engine burns the fuel and converts the potential energy of the fossil fuel into heat energy, and the heat energy into kenetic energy, and your car goes. Although pg&e is now using some renewable energy sources as well, the majority of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned, and the energy that is released is converted into electromagnetic energy, another word for electricity. A simpler example is gas, like the gas that is used in a gas stove. The gas is a fossil fuel, and it is burned. When it is burned it releases heat and light.
How energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Why are energy sources called fossil fuels?
Not all energy sources come from fossil fluels. Fossil fuel energy sources are coal, crude oil. None fossil fuels energy sources are wind power, solar power, tidal power. It is arguable for atomic power , using uranium .
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
What do all fossil fuels have in common?
They are all burned when used as energy sources (apex)
What are some energy sources that produce carbon dioxide and water when burned?
Any & all fossil fuels.

When fossil fuels are burned they release energy stored thousands of years ago?
When fossil fuels are burned, they release energy stored years ago.
What sources of energy are most damaging to the environment?
Fossil fuels.
When fossil fuels are burned what is energy converted into?
Thermal energy
What are the pro's about fossil fuels?
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
What do thermal energy and fossil fuels have in common?
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
How are fossil fuels used to create energy?
They are burned
When a fossil fuel is burned what energy is converted into kinetic energy?
When fossil fuels are burned they turn into mercury which released into the atmosphere
When fossil fuels are burned their chemical potential energy is converted into?
thermal energy.
